Our Atelier was born as a refuge for excellence. We do not manufacture simple playing instruments; we create collector’s pieces with a soul of their own.
To understand our Atelier is to understand that luxury lies in time and patience. Here, the process begins long before the first cut, with the selection of noble wood that have undergone a rigorous and slow natural drying process. Only in this way can we guarantee that the shaft and the butt have not only unmatched aesthetic beauty, but also perfect and enduring technical behavior.
But our vision goes beyond cabinetmaking. We transform the pool cue into jewels. The warmth of wood dialogues with the cool brilliance of precious metals and stones, worked with millimetric detail under the jeweler’s loupe.
In this space, three visions converge to create a single masterpiece: technique, design and goldsmithing..
Masters of the Atelier
Three minds behind every creation
IVÁN BELMONTE
Entrepreneur and player
Ivan discovered pool at just 11 years old. A childhood game that has become a decades-long relationship with competition, including two VNEA World Championship runner-up finishes in 8-Ball and 9-Ball in the United States. He is passionate about classic games such as One Pocket. From the city of Barcelona, he runs two venues, one of them the oldest American pool room in Spain, as well as a pool academy. His relationship with pool led him to collecting and to an idea: modifying his own cues with the aim of finding the same response in every stroke. From his passion and Esteve Mata’s came the question: why does there not exist a cue with extraordinary aesthetics and unsurpassed playability?
ESTEVE MATA
Master Cabinetmaker and two-time European champion
With a career that combines elite billiards competition with craftsmanship, Esteve is the guardian of technique. His understanding of how a cue behaves allows him to work the most exotic woods while respecting their timing and grain, so that the outer beauty reflects an inner structure that is perfect, balanced and precise. As a player, he excels at the short game and three-cushion. He has 189 podium finishes: 103 titles, 57 runner-up finishes and 29 bronze medals. In Europe he has two titles, seven runner-up finishes and thirteen bronze medals; in Spain, 46 gold medals (31 individual and 15 team) and two current national records.
PERE ÁLVAREZ
Master Jeweler
Heir to a family tradition begun in his father’s workshop, Pere Alvarez combines artisanal mastery with technological innovation. Trained at the JORGC in stone setting and lost-wax casting, his career has been defined by a unique duality: the sensitivity to restore antique jewelry and return its soul, and at the same time the technical precision of 3D design, a field in which he has specialized for more than a decade. Pere takes on the challenge of establishing a new paradigm in luxury pool. His work transcends decoration: his intervention guarantees that each piece not only a instrument, but a work of high jewelry.
